Program

Associate of Applied Science in Architectural and Mechanical Design

The Architectural and Mechanical Design program is offered exclusively at Hocking College’s Logan Campus.

Architectural and Mechanical Design offers jobs in many occupational settings. As a drafter, you will be at the center of a changing world. Ideas, sketches, notes, data, and workable plans are the instruments of change. Using computer assisted drafting software, networking technology and operating systems, the Architectural and Mechanical Design program provides extensive training in graphic communication and critical thinking to prepare you for future mechanical design jobs.

Your mechanical design job preparation starts with your drafting training in our on-campus labs. Continue your design training with software used to produce 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings and become proficient in navigating the commands. Finally, you will create a basic set of residential house plans and architectural details. Prepare for design jobs by learning why you draw things while you are learning how to draw.

Get real world mechanical design job or architectural job experience in a practicum where you'll apply what you've learned to a real situation. Connect with one of the companies who contact the program needing assistance with CAD projects.
